What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

There are a few things we need when compiling a quote, ideally, we would need date of event and timings, and a number of guests, the potential venue with details of venue organisers, and if it’s indoors or outdoors, also if there is a budget, with these details and our experience we are to build a custom quote.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

It’s always good to ask the provider on their equipment and the service they provide, a break down of the product are always helpful for a client, two things that always gets overlooked is to ask if the provider has a contract and their insurance. To get to know the provider a bit better ask how and why they entered the industry

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

We’ve had a couple of booking, the clients have been amazing. The guests were such a laugh and accommodating- we always say to the guest before a ceremony if they want specific photos to let us know, and not to be shy, as that’s why we’re there. I always promote Add to Event as it’s such a good platform
